After visiting Fate-san, I decided to visit Dr. Vierās clinic. At first, I was thinking of going to Isis-sanās place first, but when I checked the time after visiting Fate-san, I realized that if I were to head there right now, I would be able to see Dr. Vier between her morning and afternoon consultations at her clinic.
Well, the break time actually depends on the patients, and itās not necessarily the case that sheād always have the time to take a breakā¦ā¦ but fortunately, she didnāt have any urgent work to do at the moment, as she seemed to be taking a break drinking herb tea when I arrived.
[Welcome. You have great timing, I just brewed a fresh pot of herb tea.]
[Hello, Dr. Vier. Ahh, that great timingā¦ā¦ You mean, to brew your tea āagainā?]
[Unnn. I kinda dropped the pot earlierā¦ā¦]
[Ahh, I see.]
It seemed like she was as clumsy as usual, as she had already dropped a pot of herb tea she had brewed once. As I watched Dr. Vier scratched her head with a wry smile, a wry smile also appeared on my lips. Even though she was quite clumsy a lot of times, Dr. Vier is a Peak Count-rank, so itās a bit reassuring to not have to worry about her getting burned or injuredā¦ā¦ Well, thatās probably why she was so negligent that she screws up so oftenā¦ā¦
[So, whatās the subject for your visit today?]
[Ahh, you see, I mentioned before that I was going to have a stall at Archlesia Empireās Founding Festival, right?]
[You did say that. Even though it hasnāt been that long since Symphonia Kingdomās Founding Festival, youāre quite the busy bee, Miyama-kun~~]
[Ahaha, well, in a way, Symphonia Kingdomās Founding Festival is also the reason why Iām attending there.]
In the first place, this all started when Amel-san felt down because I didnāt invite her when I opened a stall for Symphonia Kingdomās Founding Festival.
Thinking that way, in a sense, itās like I opened a stall at Archlesia Empireās Founding Festival because I opened one at Symphonia Kingdomās Founding Festival.
[In that case, why donāt you complete the set and participate in Hydra Kingdomās Founding Festival as well?]
[No, as expected, thatās just rough. If I were to participate in Hydra Kingdomās Founding Festival, I would rather just be looking around the stalls.]
[Ahh~~ I see, that certainly is difficult to do when youāre opening a stall, isnāt it? During Symphonia Kingdomās Founding Festival, I was also involved in helping at an external relief facility, so I didnāt have much time to look around.]
[Because many people inevitably get injured in the heat of the moment, doctors certainly are busy.]
Dr. Vier helped out at a simple relief facility where doctors gathered for Symphonia Kingdomās Founding Festival. It was like those first-aid tents at events, where injured and sick people get treated.
[Well, itās a festival after all, so it canāt be helped. Oops, sorry, sorry, weāre getting off track, arenāt we?]
[No, please donāt worry about it. So, getting to the pointā¦ā¦]
When I explained that I made the accessories to give to my lovers when I made the products to sell at the Founding Festival, Dr. Vierās eyes lit up and she looked happy.
[Ahh, I got it! Itās a ring, right? If Iām not mistaken, otherworlders give them to their lover as a gift!]
[Well, you arenāt mistaken, but youāre having some misunderstandingā¦ā¦ In any case, unfortunately, what Iām giving you now isnāt a ring.]
Perhaps the ring that Dr. Vier is thinking about is the engagement ring. In the world of polygamous Trinia, the culture of giving an engagement ring to your spouse doesnāt exist. Instead, there are some similar exchanges, such as exchanging matching jewelry at weddingsā¦ā¦
[I see~~ Not ānowā huh~~ Then, the ringā¦ā¦ would come at a later dateā¦ā¦right?]
[ā¦ā¦Y- Youāre right.]
Mhmm? Could she actually not be misunderstanding and actually had an accurate understanding of how rings in our world works? H- Hmmm, Iām not sure. She kinda has this mischievous smile on her lips, but at the same time, that doesnāt seem to be the case.
[W- Well, for the time being, what Iāve prepared for you is a necklace.]
[Ohh, itās beautiful. Itās silver, no, gray? It looks like my hair color.]
[Yes, I actually chose the jewel based on the color of Dr. Vierās hair, which is a combination of Gray Diamond and Platinum.]
What I prepared for Dr. Vier was a necklace. First of all, since Dr. Vier is a doctor, I thought accessories worn on the hands and arms might get in the way. Also, she wears something like a headdress for nuns, so I thought hair ornaments and earrings might not be visible, which is why I chose a necklace.
As for the reason why I chose to make it into a cross-like shape, well, her nun-like clothes really just had this strong impression on me.
[Thank you! Iām really glad~~ Wait, Iāll have to properly cast State Preservation magic on it and make sure I wonāt break it.]
[If youāre delighted with it, it would make me happy too.]
[Eheheā¦ā¦ Ahh, by the way, do you still have some free time?]
[Yes, I donāt have any urgent plans.]
[I see, then while weāre at it, why donāt we go have lunch together? Thereās a good restaurant near here, you know?]
[That sounds great. Iād be happy to join you.]
It was just around lunchtime, and Dr. Vierās suggestion was right on time. Having finished my herb tea, I got up from my seat and helped clean up her place a bit, before we headed for the entrance of the clinic to get ready to depart together.
[Ahh, Miyama-kun, stop for a moment.]
[Yes?]
[Thanks for the accessory- Chuu.]
[Eh?]
[Fufufu, itās just a token of my appreciation. Then, letās go~~!]
After giving me a surprise kiss on the cheek and giving me a smile, Dr. Vier pulled me by the hand and walked away with a grin.
